Home and Away is lining up a shock shooting that will leave at least two characters in big danger.

And once again, it's the Morgans in the middle of all the mayhem, as their dark and complicated family history comes back to haunt them.

Again.

TV Week reports that the latest drama centres around a USB memory stick containing Decker's important research files into the drug syndicate that killed the Morgans' parents and subsequently forced them to go into witness protection.

Knowing that the USB could hold the key to the details about the syndicate, the family is divided over what to do next.

While there is the chance that the information on the USB could finally set them free, it could also leave them in grave danger.

And although Brody is desperate to do what they usually do and run, Mason and Tori are unsure about giving up the life they've built in the Bay. But Justin is keen to fight for their freedom and comes up with another idea – they hand in the memory stick.

After Justin talks to local copper Kat Chapman, she advises the family to hand it over to their new witness protection officer Ranae. The only problem is, Justin's sixth sense tells him there's something not quite right about Ranae, and he's not sure about what to do for the best.

But the decision is taken out of his hands when the Morgans' house is later blasted with guns. Unfortunately, Kat turns up at the wrong time and gets caught in the crossfire.

After Kat is shot and wounded, it's down to Justin to try and get them to safety and he manages to flee the house, with her in tow. But after realising that the all-important memory stick is still in the house, he makes the impulsive decision to return to the danger zone to get it – where his suspicions about Ranae prove correct.

Sure enough, Ranae is standing in the house armed with the memory stick (and a gun), and she's soon tying him up in a bid to get to the bottom of what he knows. And in an even bigger twist, Justin refuses to back down and instead tells her to shoot him.

Ranae does as she's told and aims her gun at Justin, but is this really the end for him? And, as a result, will the Morgans lose their last chance at freedom?
